Out of the Moonlight and into Florescent

Out of the Moonlight and into Florescent



You were poetry in motion

So I wrote before

Movement fluid with grace and charm

Mesmerizing me



Your similes have now dropped

Your silvery voice turned brass

Gold turned back to lead

You’re a metawhore



Leaving me to prose the question

What happened to you?

I find no rhyme or reason

And it’s killing me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Reads at two levels.  The first a simple relationship gone sour.  The second a metaphor for writer's block.
